I don't know why, it's silly, but I LOL'd when my workplace was VERY quiet after I did the math for this one. Again, I don't know why, it's all math that I've done similar things like on my own in the past too...

Earn 6% over 40 pips...so, 1.5% every 10pipsmeans trading at 15:1 leverageAnd getting 8pips a day

Again, I don't know why/what made me LOL like this today, but the numbers are just ridiculous.

Maybe I'll just trade 8:1 and aim for 16pips a day.or 6:1 and aim for 24??

hmmm, 4:1 off of weekly extremes, and adding in at some point if price can first reach between +75 & +100pips...

I'm sorry, I'm just feeling a little restless at the moment, and you guys are the only ones who would understand...

Well I have calmed down some and my base leverage is $65 to $70 per pipper $100k. I am forever working on survivability vs. rewards.

Build profit cushion and make some big plays in the process. Like MO toldme, you can play tight as long as you get the balls to go for it sometimes.

From the way I do my kooky math, that's 6.5:1 ~ 7:1 leverage as a base.

As always, aliassmith, thanks - the check is in the mail

I owe you a blanket if I could get one or two produced:

I don't know if these are the 'correct' definition for "No-Brainer" trades, but when I see them, they damn sure look like a no-brainer to me. I can't believe I didn't really look out for these before?!? How come you guys didn't tell me? I understand, hey maybe there was a lot more correlation between the pairs than normal last week, but still...

Captain Pugwash, you NEED to add this to your List o' Buried Treasure!

I uploaded these with my 4shared.com account, I hope this doesn't cause a problem in the future; there was no way I was typing tinypic.com's security code 12times!

::EDIT::
Dammit, they're not letting me link the direct images onto here. Sorry!! At some point in the near future, I guess I will go through and do the tinypic.com thing, so I can have the images here like I want them to be.

::EDIT::(10-28-11)
Finally re-uploaded the pics. Pain-in-the-A$$.

[font=lucida console][highlight=purple]One weird thing[/highlight][/font] I forgot to note about my UCad Short. I haven't went back to track when ALL of the big moves occurred in it, but two of the big moves happened when:

a) Both the US and Canada markets were closed for Columbus Day Holiday

b) another huge move happened on the H1 chart at 4, 5, & 6 AM EST

I NEVER would've have expected to see huge moves on a USDCAD pair happen when both of their markets are closed.

Maybe other MOMO in UCad occurred at 'odd' times as well, I haven't checked...But I didn't think MOMO could happen for a pair like that when BOTH of their markets are closed.

Other than that...

Ahhhhh - on the Ucad short - Now I really understand your use of the multiple time frames (I have read so much and taken in so little)

Not only are you looking at the bigger picture - you are using time-frames for spatial intelligence to see if a setup or momo is hidden within a time-frame? - like hidden somewhere within the market noise we can see a signal?

I might be getting a handle on what MO's Spatial Intelligence is all about. - well, I live in hope

I have been doing a "WD41" (weekly , daily, four hourly, hourly) before every trade - or at least at the start of each day - but I can see I need to alter my work-space to be able to see what you guys see - because my own intelligence is just not too s p a t i a l

**aliassmith**
I had to slightly alter the way I increase leverage. I can't go 4, 8, 16, 32:1 leverage; b/c at 32:1 it limits the pairs that I could actually trade at that point. (Trading the main USD crosses I would have ~113pips till margin call; getting some of the more expensive cross currencies I would have between @13.5~7.5pips till margin call )
I also recalculated the fail rate. I'd have to fail 11 straight times to end up a bit past breakeven on my 12th attempt. (2% above breakeven, lol) (If I failed 12 times and succeeded on the 13th, I'd be down 1.6%)
